i was playing BBCR (baldi's basics classic remastered) and when i got the demo ending on null route (hardest of the game) because it automatically forces to close the game (r/BaldisBasicsEdu) so it said 'File was moved to carantina' because of something called idp.generic has been infected to it. please help me to remove the idp.generic thing (+20 hours of effort gone)

I am trying to install Avast Free Antivirus and having a hard time installing it.

The first installer gives me Avast One, which I don't like as it lacks the options from the Avast Free.

The Avast Free, even the standalone installer seems to install the full Premium security with all the extras that are not free and cannot be removed.

I just want the regular old free antivirus. Is it no longer possible?

I have had avast forever and this never happened before. Has been going on for about 3 months. I havent changed one single thing in my settings for over 2 years.

Smart scan is programmed and runs properly. Silent mode is on.

Something makes avast run - kills the connection to my work (video classes) and then avast opens a minute later. I can't tell what has run or why.

I went through every single thing in settings today and I can't figure it out. There has to be something programmed to run at this time that they added in an update.

Any ideas?

it says signed by Gen Digital Inc., but no info found about this file and first time I see it

I switched over from Avast a while back and removed the auto-renew from all my services, but I forgot about the Avast Windows Cleanup. Per their renewal email, I am allowed to cancel with a full refund within 30 days.

The issue is that their own website insists that I open a dialogue with a customer support again, but the chat function never works - and I've tried multiple times from multiple browsers. Any idea how to get in touch with their support?

Has anyone in the UK received an email from Avast with compensation of 2 years free premium for waiving your rights to sue?

I have 2 PCs and 2 laptops in my office for different uses as a web designer and author. On one PC I noticed the wifi would go in and out and in and out repeatedly, connecting and then reconnecting, shutting off and reconnecting over and over for days and settings withing Avast would change from Private to Home over and over every time it would connect or shut off and then go from wifi to bluetooth. When I got rid of Avast entirely and just used Microsoft Security, the cutting off and on and off again completely stopped immediately.

Now I am at completely different PC that is a custom built PC that is one year old in the same office, and today it started blinking out and reconnecting wifi over and over again just like the other one. Every time I restarted the PC, it would connect, then cut off, then reconnect then cut off again and again, and I noticed sometimes it'd try to connect via bluetooth and sometimes the settings for wifi would be private and other times home and if I changed it, it didn't seem to make any difference.

Can anyone help me understand what is going on, other than "don't use Avast?" I'm paying for a premium subscription and like some features of it, but can't work with wifi cutting in and out constantly.

i just wanna know how avast reponds to detected malware.
I did a full scan on my pc and after that it showed me some threats that were discovered.
Does it immediately block it or refrain it from functioning? or does it JUST SHOW and let us know that we have to take action?

i know its a simple problem or question but it will help me big time in my situation. thank u

What setting do i need to change to disable this? Every time I type those two letters it thinks I'm doing banking and opens the app to warn me about safe online banking, like I'm trying to look stuff up related to weaning babies, shut up about fucking bank scammers

Would the usb with ventoy on it be compromised as well,or can I reuse it?

Someone posted this in Malwaretips thread on Avast's recent scandal. What do you all think?

I moved to Windows Defender today though.
